Dr. Bronner's Liquid Soap Bottle

This soap is nothing short of incredible. From the moment you open the bottle, the crisp, clean peppermint scent is invigorating without being overpowering — it genuinely wakes up your senses and leaves you feeling refreshed and energized. This is my go to for my toughest cleaning needs. Cat pee, which is famously difficult to clean, is easily taken care of when cleaned with baking soda, vinegar, and peppermint Dr. Bronners. What truly sets this soap apart is its purity, potency, and versatility. The ingredient list is simple, clean, and trustworthy, and it works beautifully for many household uses. It feels good knowing you’re using a product that is both effective and thoughtfully made. If you want a soap that is reliable in tough pinches, versatile, destroys odors, is long-lasting, and truly high quality, Dr. Bronner’s Peppermint is a must-have. I will absolutely be buying this again.

I remember this stuff from my childhood. I've heard it referred to as "hippy soap". I remember the "peppermint tingle". However, it wasn't until 3 months ago that I actually bought my own. I decided to replace my chemical-laden hygiene products with safer ones - relying on the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep database to guide me to a better place. There were quite a few items that needed to be investigated...I was looking for a price I could afford, high reviews, and low scores on EWG's Skin Deep. So I found body wash, soap, shampoo, dish rinse, laundry detergent, toothpaste...and then I found Dr. Bronners...one product to handle all those tasks. It sure made things easier! Just think about how all of those products are going on your skin at some point...and then being absorbed...multiple times a day, every day, for years...the bombardment of toxic chemicals is crazy and once you start thinking about it you realize how ridiculous our culture has become with no oversight whatsoever. Dr. Bronner's carries "Champion Status" at the Environmental Working Group's website that ranks products based on their danger/toxicity. This means they have signed a pledge to use only the safest ingredients in all their products. On a scale of 0-10 (0 being the safest), this product scores a 1. I think if you averaged the scores of all the products I have replaced with it, you'd get about a 5. I now buy it by the gallon and have just purchased my second one (3 months later). Do the math and I think my girlfriend and I will go through about 4 gallons a year with all the uses mentioned here. DILUTE DILUTE DILUTE Body Wash: The standard dilution here of about 20% soap to 80% water works fine. You can adjust to your liking/lather preferences. I had been using a Dial foaming hand soap in all my rooms and I've emptied those, cleaned them real good, and converted them to Dr. Bronner's foaming dispensers. I love the results. It foams up real good and the lather is good. If you want more, just up the strength (reduce dilution) a little bit. You may find this leaves a little "tingle" in certain spots that will be extra-noticeable with cold water/air - you may enjoy this or not...either way it's certainly not a big deal and you do get used to it. The other thing to get used to is that you won't have that slimy feeling on your skin that we've probably learned to associate with being clean. That's just the chemicals on your body... Hand Soap: Using the same dilution (20/80) and re-purposed foaming bottles, I keep this in all bathrooms as hand soap. Not much to say here and people compliment me on the smell of my soap...even if they wonder what the heck it is! Dish Rinse: Once again I go with about 20/80 in a squirt bottle in my kitchen. You'll be surprised how well it cleans. When you start seeing the bubbles/lather reduce, squirt a little more and keep going. Remember you're never going to get that insane never-ending foam/lather without the harsh chemicals, but you'll be surprised with how well it does on its own. I do find that if I wash something and don't rinse it off fairly quickly it leaves behind a little "oil slick" that is most noticeable on metallic items...but it's organic and safe...and if you just run your sponge over it real quick and rinse, it's gone. Not a problem at all. Floor Cleaner: Here I dilute it down to like 5% soap, 95% water. It doesn't leave any residue and cleans up nicely - the smell is good too...and it's nice to know I'm not just filling the air with chemical fragrances than can linger in my home for days. Shampoo: I keep some in a bottle at full strength and pour about a teaspoon in my hand, rub together a little, then put it in my hair and clean as usual...you probably need more if you don't have short guy hair like me. I might try to dilute this to 50% only because at full strength it likes to clog the little opening of the bottle with dried soap. It cleans my hair well and I follow it up with Dr. Bronner - Organic Shikakai Conditioner Hair Rinse, 8 fl oz liquid . My girlfriend's hair did not appreciate this method as much as mine did and so I've switcher her over to Yes to Cucumbers (or Yes to Carrots) shampoo and conditioner which is great as well! Laundry Detergent: I keep a gallon in my laundry room and put about 1/3 cup for an average large load. I adjust up or down depending on the size. I augment it with some baking soda which is really cheap. At ~$50 per gallon this is more expensive than your typical Tide chemical gallon but once you factor in that you don't really need (or I don't, at least) fabric softener, the price difference is not as large. If you wash with the chemicals you have them on your skin all day long...every time you sweat they're soaking into your skin...no thanks. Toothpaste: this is the only other time I use the product at full strength - and I may well dilute it a little soon. I like about 3 drops on my wet toothbrush. I know what you're thinking "eww, soap in my mouth?!" I'm not sure how the other scents would work but with peppermint, I had no problem with it. With just the three drops, it foams up quickly and feels and tastes clean. Brush as normal but one warning: don't take forever. Peppermint oil, especially at full strength, can burn your skin a little if left on too long. I find that if I brush for about 1 minute it's not a problem at all. Two minutes and my mouth is a little burnt - but it's not the end of the world and heals overnight. This is why I am considering going with a 1:1 ratio of soap to water and using like 6-10 drops. UPDATE: I have been combining equal parts extra virgin coconut oil and baking soda + Dr. Bronner's (for the peppermint/cleaning) as a homemade toothpaste and it's working well!

I love that it’s made with natural and organic ingredients, and a little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts forever. It’s also incredibly versatile—I’ve used it as body wash, hand soap, and even for cleaning. If you have sensitive skin, just be mindful because the peppermint is strong, but if you love that cooling minty feel, this soap is a must have.

It smells great, it has minimal additives, and it coats well. I feel clean after using it. The peppermint scent is strong and on point. My only minor complaint would be that it is a bit thin, however overall this is something I will keep buying.

I love this soap. Use it in my shower with my loofah and foam bottle and gives me lots of suds. Makes me feel really clean and I like the tingling feeling I get when using it on my skin as it washes by body. I also use it with shower towel for washing between my toes. Gives nice clean tinkling feeling.

I am a dedicated customer of Dr. Bronner's soaps. I am allergic to like everything, and this brand I can use with no problem. So many uses it has! And it makes suds with little water and rinses easily. This peppermint soap I use it mostly for my floors and our dog's main room. It cleans very easily. You can rinse or not. And the scent is nice. I have not come across another brand of organic soap that is as good as this brand.

This is a great soap with quality ingredients, if you ignore the crazy label BUT I really wish that the Peppermint was not advertised for face or body wash since it is highly mentholated (I should have known but did not until after). I did not use on my face but just using in the shower was pretty rough on my eyes and let it be known, Peppermint willlll react on your sensitive areas, so expect some numbing or coldness or as the label says "tingles" (they say this as part of why its for 3+ but this should be a disclaimer for all ages). The instructions also do not say anything about diluting for body wash, and it really should. It took over an hour for the cold numb feeling to go away and I can only imagine how this version must feel for a gentleman :/ Next time, I'm going for citrus.

This soap is really as good as the hype. If you’ve never tried it before, you should know it’s very liquidy. It’s not a thick soap. Another good to know is that it’s very effective. It’s super concentrated so you can dilute the soap in a separate bottle and use that when you shower or wash your hands. When a soap is effective, it usually dries your skin out but I haven’t had that issue with this soap. Last, I can’t comment on the other uses for this soap- but it’s spectacular in the shower and love how clean it makes my skin feel. The peppermint scent is an added bonus and is not irritating, just fresh and briefly tingly. If you have sensitive skin, I would recommend the unscented baby version though, since it has no essential oils.
